RE: Understanding Elephant Tourism in Thailand
Excellent post. I was born in Thailand and came to Canada at four. I still have vivid memories of elephant parades. They marched with big chairs strapped to them and people on top waving their hands. I find the elephant business one of the most heart breaking of all.
It is so heart breaking! That must of been hard to see as a young kid. It was hard for me to see elephants there that did have the big chairs strapped to them - we of course didn't visit these places but drove by some and saw the elephants feet chained to posts while "off-duty". So sad.
